subclipse override and commit?

Question

using subclipse, how do i commit my older unchanged file over someone else's bodged-up newer version of the file?

i seem to remember there being an 'override and commit' option in older versions, or maybe that was another version control product...

cheers.

Answer 1

This looks like ticket 761, which means that feature may not be available anytime soon, I am afraid.
The "Mark as Merged" is still the way to override changes.

Answer 2

using subclipse: in history view: mark all versions you want to get rid of (use ctrl to add select) then right click and revert

then commit and you should have a new version without the unwanted versions

Answer 3

Use subversive. It supports override and commit. I decided to pass from subeclipse to subversive properly due to the lack of this feature.

Answer 4

You could also do it that way:

• update everything (overwrite your unchanged old version)
• show history
• in history pick the version you want to switch back to
• right click: get content
• commit
